Population
Control Solution
   
There
is an alternative to population control. Restricting
and discouraging the formation of families in order to stabilize or
reduce population infringes on the freedom and rights of every human.
There is another much better approach that does not infringe on human
rights for controlling population expansion. That is to let the
population expand, without controls, but also vastly expand
resources. The best way to vastly increase farm production, clean
water supplies and rapid distribution of resources is to build my
proposed Trans-Global Highway (www.TransGlobalHighway.org).
Think about it for a moment. There are vast areas of our planet that
have an abundance of resources of every variety, and yet these areas
seem to isolated to make proper use of. Construction of the Trans
Global Highway will change all of this since we will be able to get
fresh water from areas with huge reserves of fresh water, such as
northern Canada and Russia and pipe this water to the water starved
areas of the world, such as vast areas of central Russia, North
Africa, and even to the western part of the United States, that is
presently rationing water to farms. This would vastly increase the
food supplies available to the world. Further, transportation costs
would be reduced and the speed to transport heavy items would be
increased, when compared to ocean ship transport, thus cement or
heavy machinery could be quickly transported from one area of the
world to another. Such things as expensive mechanized farm equipment
could be utilized for one month in one area of the world and then
shipped to another area, with a different growing season. A large
number of new industries would be formed with massive economic
opportunities. Further, the entire planet would benefit with increase
food supplies, inexpensive electricity, and fuel and mineral
resources could be transported from isolated areas to urban areas.
If we continue with the current direction of global population
control, we will end up with a stagnated medieval type of world, with
very little progress, and massively declining standards of living for
all, rich and poor. To restrict or reduce population, based on
resources available today and a very limited understanding of the
future availability of resources, will lead to nothingness.
Already the resulting decline in birthrates and aging populations
has created many new and unforeseen consequences. This includes a
declining tax base, a greater tax burden for the younger people, a
greater percentage of people required to take care of the elderly,
declining industrial output and a significant decline in the standard
of living for many young people.
It was an error on my part many years ago, to name the project
"Trans-Global Highway" since most people associate the word
"highway" with a roadway, when in fact, I always viewed the
Trans-Global Highway as a pathway or a conduit for a variety of long
distance transporting needs including electric cables to send
electricity generated from distant places to urban areas,
communication cables, oil and gas pipelines as well as being a
pathway for high speed programmed trains and finally a roadway for
truck and car transportation. For extremely long range journeys, I
have always felt that the best way to transport goods would be using
programmed trains, rather than trucks, however for shorter trips,
such as between local cities or in relatively populated areas, trucks
and car would no doubt utilize the Trans-Global Highway.
There
really is a better way for society, than to push population control.
The solution is simple. Have an international effort to build my
proposed Trans Global Highway. Read more about the Trans-Global
Highway at www.TransGlobalHighway.org --Frank
